Halloween Programs

Halloween Books for Kids

Halloween is almost here! Before you know it, the ghosts and goblins will be showing up at your doorstep, with trick-or-treat bags in hand! It can be a fun time for horror fans and pranksters alike. But with all of the masks and monster makeup, strange noises and zombie movies... It can also be a scary time for kids. While it can definitely be fun to be scared - especially as you get older - sometimes you want a not-so-scary alternative! 

Haunted Happenings: Join the TAB Takeover October 7-18

Scare up some friends (ages 12-17) and join us for budget-friendly costume tips, practice with special effects makeup, spooky book recommendations, themed games, treats, and more! It's a complete takeover of the Teen Advisory Board for Halloween! Join us from October 7 - 18 at a TAB near you!

Sometimes you want a not-so-scary alternative! And the Library has plenty of both!
